Hello, Ashley Pomeroy!
 
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Hi. I have reverted your upload of a higher resolution version of this image as it is not clear that the higher resolution version is freely licensed as the low res one is. While there is some debate over whether downsampling actually creates a new work which can be released freely without also releasing the original, until it is a settled matter we must apply the precautionary principle. -mattbuck (Talk) 18:14, 29 April 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]


Soft photos edit

They were both taken in low light which means that the lens is shooting wide open which starts to create depth of field issues. They were also taken with a canon 16–35mm f/2.8L USM II lens which isn't the sharpest lens going (I've switched to an 11-24mm lens for most such images now).Geni (talk) 20:16, 30 October 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi there,

I have transferred a colour-correction you made of a US government image to File:SUPER CONSTELLATION FUSELAGE DISPLAYED ABOVE BUILDING DEEP IN EVERGLADES - NARA - 544610 (color correct).jpg.

This is because the original upload at File:SUPER CONSTELLATION FUSELAGE DISPLAYED ABOVE BUILDING DEEP IN EVERGLADES - NARA - 544610.jpg explicitly requests that it not be overwritten. I moved your version of the image in preference to it being lost when that file was reverted to the original version.

Unfortunately, as I don't entirely understand the procedures for transferring the template data to a modified upload, the information is a bit jumbled. Please feel free to correct this if you so wish. Thank you for your understanding. Ubcule (talk) 20:04, 28 December 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
